read another typhon pact star trek novel zero sum game a starfleet spy thriller that read like the looking glass war or firefox
set in the empire of the number nine star trek villains the masked and mysterious cyrogenic lifeform "the breen" the spy story explained the breen away as totally un-alien isolationists a paranoid union of republics where everyone is masked and equal and so 1950's eastern european
the two fisted story of starfleet agents hacking into the breen security network composed as it was of CCTV, nodes. servers and routers completely out of content with the 24th century nothing is bold in this and imagination fails to reach the final frontier
magic and mystery in tibet, i had wanted to read alexandra david neel since undergraduate days and there is a new english translation out rather dated neel tells of third hand evidence of magic lamas and imagines more than she sees
the armour of alchiiles glynn illiffe the third in the odysseus cycle as with many trojan war novels just a retelling of the basic homer in modern english , the charactors are as flat as bronze warriors and the story is just related direct from the sources hope the odysseus cycle gets better when illiffe reaches the voyage home stage as this was just ten years camped outside a city wall
we the drowned by carsten jensen a rarity among modern novels you read all 800 pages eith pelasure and when you get the the end you want to read it all again from the beginning this is true storytelling a real epic of nautical curiousities that carries you along the story of a danish seafaring community and its peole from 1848-1945 this will appeal to the lovers of windjammer prose and adventure magic five stars for jensen
